Questions & Answers

Is it worth a 2.5 hour drive to go? I see alot writing about few animals or small zoo. Looks on the news like it should/could be big.

I don't believe it is, especially at this time of year. We went yesterday for the Earth Day Celebration and have been there a few other times. It's a nice enough small zoo and a pleasant surprise for such a small town as Watertown, but not worth a 2.5 hour drive. (We moved to Watertown in October) The large area that One can see from Google maps and certain pictures is actually the large community park that the Zoo is in.

The zoo is not currently open to the public. The Otter Shop (gift shop) is open on Saturday and Sunday from 10 to 2.

Does the zoo take older frozen fish and venison and if so what days and time or a point of contact for such things

Ron Sweitzer | Oct 29, 2020
Ronald Mcgrath | Oct 29, 2020

You'd have to call the zoo and ask that question unless you happen to run across someone that has either asked that question before or has done it

We do have a trail that goes around the Zoo yet it's more of a walking trail. It does not have the "exercise suggestions" as you stated in the other fitness trails.

How many people typically attend the zoo on a Saturday in June? We are looking to hold an event at the Thompson Park Pavilion. Do they share parking and is it ever an issue?

Jennifer O'Gara | Oct 30, 2019
Larry Connelly | Oct 30, 2019

You are probably better off calling. You can never tell, how many people or what an issue will be. Weather will always play the most factor on who will go.

The stone pavilions are located in Thompson Park. You can access them for free, but if you want to use them for an event you must contact the city for a permit. The Thompson Psrk Zoo has a seasonal butterfly pavilion. You can call to check to see what time of year it is available.
